Castel Penede, Medieval castle in Nago-Torbole, Italy.
The castle ruins stand on a rocky ridge above Lake Garda, extending toward the water and providing views across the northern lake section.
Records from 1210 indicate Penede Castle as an episcopal property entrusted to the Arco dynasty before Venetian forces captured it in 1438.
The castle structure exhibits medieval military architecture with fortified walls, towers, and strategic design elements that reflect northern Italian defensive principles.
Visitors can reach the castle grounds through a forest path starting in Nago, with the complete walking route taking approximately two hours round trip.
The castle site contains archaeological evidence of Roman occupation, including discovered coins, pottery fragments, and remnants of a lime wall tower.
